The Rey Auditory-Verbal Learning Test is a widely recognized test in neuropsychological literature to evaluate learning and memory. This paper presents the performance of six age groups of Brazilian elderly on the Rey Auditory-Verbal Learning Test.
A version of the test was developed with a list of high-frequency one-syllable and two-syllable concrete Portuguese substantives. Two hundred and twenty-three subjects of both genders were allocated to 6 age groups (60-64, 65-69; 70-74; 75-79; 80-84 and 85-89 years old) and tested with the Rey Auditory-Verbal Learning Test.
Educational level and age had a positive and a negative correlation, respectively, with performance on the Rey Auditory-Verbal Learning Test. Women performed significantly better than men. Our results were similar to those found for the Rey Auditory-Verbal Learning Test English version, across similar age ranges.
Our results suggest that the Brazilian Portuguese Rey Auditory-Verbal Learning Test adaptation was adequate and applicable for evaluating the memory capacity of Brazilian subjects, across similar age and educational levels.
雷伊听觉词语学习测验是神经心理学文献中广泛认可的用于评估学习与记忆的测验。本文呈现了巴西老年人六个年龄组在雷伊听觉词语学习测验中的表现。
使用一份包含高频单音节和双音节具体葡萄牙语实词的列表编制了该测验的一个版本。223名男女受试者被分配到6个年龄组（60 - 64岁、65 - 69岁、70 - 74岁、75 - 79岁、80 - 84岁和85 - 89岁），并接受雷伊听觉词语学习测验。
教育水平和年龄分别与雷伊听觉词语学习测验的表现呈正相关和负相关。女性的表现显著优于男性。我们的结果与在相似年龄范围内对雷伊听觉词语学习测验英语版本所发现的结果相似。
我们的结果表明，巴西葡萄牙语版的雷伊听觉词语学习测验改编得当，适用于评估巴西受试者在相似年龄和教育水平下的记忆能力。
